In this class, learn how to use pinching, slabs, and coils to make small scale functional and decorative projects. Students will be introduced to the proper procedures of working with the clay, drying their projects, and the bisque and glaze firing processes. Each week will cover a new technique, including pinched bowls, slab plates, and coiled cylinders. The projects will culminate in making a lidded jar and a wall-hanging piece.
